Re: limiting search to certain pages only?

[Khue Nguyen]

Hi,

you can find more info on this thread
http://list.jahia.org/dev_list/msg01338.html

given Lucene syntax, a negation only requires the NOT keyword ( must be in
uppercase ).

    searchQuery + " NOT (pageid:2 OR pageid:3)"

with javascript solution, you can try the code bellow :

<%
    String notAllowedPagesStr = " NOT (pageid:1 OR pageid:11)"; //test
purpose
%>
<script language="javascript">
<!--
function onSearchFormSubmit(){
    var searchQuery = document.searchForm.searchInput.value;
    searchQuery = searchQuery.replace(/^\s*|\s*$/,""); // trim space
    if ( searchQuery.length>0 ) {
        searchQuery = searchQuery + '<%=notAllowedPagesStr%>';
    }
    document.searchForm.search.value = searchQuery;
    //alert(document.searchForm.search.value);
}
//-->
</script>
<form name="searchForm" method="get"
action="<%=jData.gui().html().drawSearchLauncher()%>"
onSubmit="onSearchFormSubmit()" >
              <p>
               <input name="searchInput" class="formVeldLogin"
type="text"/>&nbsp;&nbsp;
               <input type="hidden" name="search"/>
                 <input class="button" value="zoeken" type="submit"  />
              </p>
       </form>
